Our Mission

‘EYLE’s adult literacy, numeracy and digital literacy programs transform lives and enhance self-worth by empowering individuals to reach their full potential.’

We help adults improve their reading, writing, basic math and digital literacy skills.   Operating as a charity in East Toronto since 1987, we have helped over eleven hundred adults build better lives.

Our clients meet weekly in one-to-one sessions with trained, volunteer tutors.  They follow an individualized training plan to meet their literacy goals.

Did you know?

42% of Canadian adults between 16-65 years have low literacy skills.  They can not read or write well enough to:

• apply for jobs
• read a newspaper
• write a letter
• fill out forms
• do banking

Our services are free to clients because of the generous support of our funders and private donors.
